[mapserver-users] Mapserv reporting error reading item added to DBF file

[Hockaday, John]

Andrea,

I'm not sure that this is the problem but this may help.  The name of the
attribute column is case sensitive.  ArcView often shows the name of the
attribute column in a different case to its actual case especially if you
are using a PC.  Try finding out the actual case of the name of the
attribute column and using that in the mapserv map file.
